Was it a result of changes they made, or did we lost our discipline.

Fisher, just like our last game, is not going to be satisfied with the lack of spacing we were getting on offense. You have to be more active.

Didn't see some of the defensive intensity we saw in previous games, either.

SL Camp Invitees:

Other than the guys from last year (THJ & Tyler) and our picks (The Greek will not make the team this year) or signed player (Larkin), and Brown, I can't see asking others from the SL to come to camp, unless the coaching staff and Phil have some favorites they still feel can make the team or have value in the DLeague.

If we didn't have so many bigs, I might Look at one of the big guys, who actually showed some ability every now and then, but they all have holes in their respective games..

I was hoping that Galloway had a chance after the first Charlotte game, but at this time he does not not seem feasible as a camp invitee. Did not see the intensity of a guy trying to make the squad. Can only see him as a DLeaguer.

The Greek needs a lot of seasoning. Had some moments, but he is not ready. You have his rights, why sign him when he won't be productive this year. As someone like Briggs has done, you can make a case that there were other players on the board who might have been better choices at his spot in the draft.

Henriquez has some big many ability, but not as a scorer. Phil's big men have to hit the short to midrange jumper. DLeague, maybe,

Remember, there are guys in the SL who will not be invited to a training camp, and one or two might be picked up by the Knicks.

Would also love to have a real "farm" system. I'm old enough to remember when there were many more rounds in the draft. Mike Riordan, who was on the 1969 Knicks title team (one of the "Minute" men) and was traded for Monroe, was actually chosen by the Knicks in the 12th Round in the 1967 draft.

Few guys picked later in the draft ever made it, but having a farm system would be interesting. Some might make it to the NBA, some might be able to go to Europe for more $$, and maybe some just play at a DLeague salary until they give up the dream.
